Both Reliance Jio and Airtel have revamped their unlimited plans to offer more data. Here’s a look at all the plans and benefits.

The price and data war between Reliance Jio and incumbent operators is far from over. Just when you thought plans couldn’t get any cheaper or offer more data, telcos have rolled out new plans with added benefits. Airtel recently revamped its plans to offer more data, and Jio was quick enough to revise its plans too. While Airtel’s plans are live, Jio’s new plans will come into effect starting January 26.

Reliance Jio’s plans offer unlimited local and national calling, unlimited roaming, along with unlimited SMS local and national SMS (cap of 100 per day). Jio also offers complimentary access to suite of apps, such as JioCinema, JioMusic and JioTV. Jio also offers unlimited internet, just that after the daily limited is hit, speed is throttled down to 64Kbps.

Airtel plans, on the other hand, also offer similar benefits. You get unlimited local and national calls, and unlimited SMS (cap of 100 per day). When it comes to calls, there is a daily cap of 250 minutes, and weekly cap of 1,000 minutes. After hitting the limit, Airtel-to-Airtel calls will be charged at 10 paise per minute, whereas calls to other operators will be charged at 30 paise per minute. Here’s a look at Reliance Jio vs Airtel plans and their benefits.

Reliance Jio Rs 149 plan vs Airtel Rs 149 plan

Jio’s Rs 149 plan offers high-speed 1GB daily 4G data with validity of 28 days. However, starting January 26, the plan will offer 1.5GB daily data. In comparison, Airtel’s plan offers 1GB daily 3G/4G data, with validity of 28 days. The plan previously offered unlimited Airtel-to-Airtel calls, but now it has been upgraded to offer unlimited local and national calls, along with unlimited roaming. There is, however, a small caveat here – the plan is only available in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circles.
